How to get the formulas for these compounds

So what you’re going to do is basically the + and - in each top hand corner is the charge of compound, so for example Li has a charge of +1 while Br has a charge of -1 , to write the formula you need to get the charges to cancel out ( equal zero) so luckily this was easy because -1 +1 =0 ! So it would be LiBr. Though for another example Al has a charge of 3+ while br has a charge of -1 and these do not equal zero, so as a result you have to add more br making the Formula AlBr3! Hope this helps!

The element Osminum has a density of 22.6 g/cm3. the mass of a block of Osmium with three sides of 1.01cmx0.223 cm x 0.648 cm is

Alika [10]

Volume of osmium = 1.01(0.223)(0.648) = 0.14595 cm3

Density = mass / volume
So density x volume = mass of osmium
22.6 x 0.14595 = 3.29845 g

An unknown compound with a molar mass of 223.94 g/mol consists of 32.18% c, 4.50% h, and 63.32% cl. find the molecular formula f

Dima020 [189]

The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.

Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)

Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:

Mass of carbon, $C$ :

$\frac{32.18}{100}\times 223.94 = 72.06 g$

Mass of hydrogen, $H$ :

$\frac{4.5}{100}\times 223.94 = 10.08 g$

Mass of chlorine, $Cl$ :

$\frac{63.32}{100}\times 223.94 = 141.79 g$

Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:

$number of moles = \frac{given mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of $C$ :

$number of moles = \frac{72.06}{12} = 6.005 mole\simeq 6 mole$

Number of moles of $H$ :

$number of moles = \frac{10.08}{1} = 10.08 mole\simeq 10 mole$

Number of moles of $Cl$

$number of moles = \frac{141.79}{35.5} = 3.99 mole\simeq 4 mole$

Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:

$C_{\frac{6}{4}}H_{\frac{10}{4}}Cl_{\frac{10}{4}}$

$C_{1.5}H_{2.5}Cl_{1}$

Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:

So, the empirical formula is $C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2}$ .

Empirical mass = $12\times 3+1\times 5+2\times 35.5 = 112 g/mol$

In order to determine the molecular formula:

n = $\frac{molar mass}{empirical mass}$

n = $\frac{223.94}{112} = 1.99 \simeq 2$

So, the molecular formula is:

$2\times C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2} = C_{6}H_{10}Cl_{4}$

Gold has a density of 19.32 g/mL. If its mass is 56.94 grams what is its volume? (BE SURE TO SHOW ALL THREE PARTS:

Alja [10]

Answer:

<h2>2.95 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

$volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\$

From the question we have

$volume = \frac{56.94}{19.32} \\ = 2947204...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.95 mL</h3>
